Sometimes it appears that seeking perfection in an MR2 is the 'Holy Grail'
 
Hmm, now is the dye that my intercooler installer told me that he found all over the newly installed brand new $1200 air conditioner compressor air conditioner dye, or just the same colour used in coolant fluid that just happened to appear over that newly installed a/c compressor like the air con man told me today???

^ random?
 

 
Got them put in last night - apparently leather evens out after a while in the sun. Got a bit of a track day tomorrow so car will be in sun for most of day so will see how it goes.

Hi there, sorry I missed your post.
 
All up landed the seat covers came to just under $300. Was around $280AUD (afterp paypal crappy conversion rates)
I then paid to get them installed professionally (apparently you can DIY if you have the skill/patience)

Out with the old in with the ....older.

Replaced my grey diry grey headlining froom an early model hard top in black.



Was luckily enough to now have a wreck sitting in the shed which the sunvisors and map lights could be swapped with.


Also couple of updated pictures of seats - after they have had time to sit in the car. Very happy with way its come out - definately plan on getting armrest and dash upholstered in coming months.


Also purchased replacement leather covers for storage bins - these have been installed (DIY) as well as a matching gear and hand brake gaiters.





and random pic of car taken on bit of a track day last weekend.


*by far was the most fun I have ever had trying to drive in a straight line - no matter how gentle with the happy pedal - little khana circuit insisted on making me face the way I was came from

got my hands on this lip other day and installed- not sure what it is - resembles 93+ lip but it sits a fair bit lower. if anyone could point me in right direction would be appreciated - wouldn't mind getting matching skirts (if such a product exists?)

Thanks
 
I got quotes varying from $150 - $280 a seat.
 
Ended up getting just a local trimmer to install them both for $300, I think if I was do it again I would attempt z DIY as he said they fitted pretty much perfectly.

So I had a go at making some custom rear pods over some scrap bits found around my backyard. Below is from a old 93 front lip that was in the bin pile - fell off the car at speed and got dragged on ground and run over.
 

 

 
And instelled and painted (will need to repaint, weather was a bit sh*t) - also installed a set of Pheonix Power Sideskirts. Colour matching this car is an absolute nightmare - its still not 100%. Will have another crack it in the future.
